From what I know they only sell 375's at Lost Abbey for $16... but if not mistaken I think South Bay Drugs might have some, its worth a try.

South Bay had them, not sure if they're gone or not. Sadly CA stores won't ship to MT.

Not really interested in paying the asking price for this anyways though, but there are times...

[KingG] 11:52 pm: cuvee 375ML went in about 45 minutes

Brother I have been attending to other things of late and I am out of the loop on several fronts. It appears that Mike's offer means that once again 375ml. bottles were limited to the brewery realease and some well connected folk such as Joey who is a first class guy. :thumbs: What is the initial impression of the 2009 ??? have any of you had a chance to try it yet?

Cheers,
Adrian

Btw Justin you know the Cali boys got your back when ever you need something...:thumbs:

Is anyone else a little gunshy to shell out the kind of $$$ Tomme's asking for this considering all the QA/PR issues they've been having lately?

I have a big problem paying that kind of money period! I've stumbled across some great brews that could be had for a quarter of that price. But with craft beer (same as cigars too) you'll find people who will pay the price. Makes me wonder if it's hype or a truly great product.

I paid somewheres around $15 for a bottle of Chimay Blue and came away unimpressed. Maybe when it comes to craft beers I have cheap taste!

Sours tend to be more expensive because they require more equipment and time than "traditional" beers, but $30 is retarded as far as I'm concerned.

I haven't seen any reports of flat tomme, so I wouldn't mind grabbing some 375s.

I saw one report but it was unfounded. Its hard to pay over $20 for a bottle of beer but I refuse to pay 30+ for a LA beer after his AS debacle. He left many retailers holding the bag with shit-loads of overpriced flat beer.

With that said is there any way for me to tell if my flat AS are carbonating?
I've been shaking the bottles every now and then to move the yeast around and keeping them in high temp rooms (60-70 someone suggested to go as high as 80 degrees). One thing I noticed this last time I shook the bottle bubbles form in the air pocket underneath the cork...Could this be a sign?

The sad thing is a lot of these retailers are still trying to sell them at $30...I told one guy I will take 3 botlles for $30, he laughed at me, I was thinking in my head poor bastig he will be stuck with those bottles.

That's a damn good question. I did the same thing, shook a few bottles up and it looked like some bubbles were forming but as someone pointed out to me, if you shake a bottle of water up it does the same thing. Last I heard from someone who opened it there has been little to no change.

If the yeast are fine like Tomme said, the problem seems like there isn't any sugar in there for them to eat. If they were capped you could put a carb drop in there and recap it. Not sure there's anything you can do since they're corked (unless you have a corker).
